During this talk we'll build, deploy and protect an AI app within 25 minutes on Cloudflare starting with a blank project. Not only will we explore rapid prototyping, but also development and deployment workflows for production-ready applications.
Key takeaways Understanding the art-of-the-possible with true serverless platforms.
As a DevOps Engineer, navigating the balance between autonomy and keeping managers updated can be quite challenging. In this session, we’ll explore practical strategies to streamline your workflow, communicate proactively, and avoid frequent interruptions from your manager. Learn how to set clear boundaries, and optimize your systems so you can focus on delivering value without constant oversight. Whether you’re new to DevOps or a seasoned pro, this talk will offer tips and tricks to help you maintain your independence, boost productivity, and keep your manager happy—without endless check-ins.
Key takeaways - Utilize real-time dashboards to provide managers with updates, eliminating the need for frequent check-ins. - Set clear boundaries with managers, such as through scheduled briefings or proactive status reports, to maintain focus on your work. - Consistently deliver on your commitments and maintain transparency in your workflows to build trust with managers and minimise interruptions.
This presentation explores the evolving database needs of a rapidly growing startup. We follow a fictional company's journey from a very small team to a company with large user base facing regulatory obligations with a single PostgreSQL database. Discover how database access, migrations, and backups requirements change unexpectedly as customer expectations and data volume increase.
Practical insights for engineers and product owners to ensure long-term success.
Key takeaways - External-facing applications: No migration access or responsibilities. - Long-running (multiple days) migrations: Acceptable, no user or feature delivery impact. - Read-only replica offloading: Multiple database connections in the application. - PostgreSQL connection scaling: Connection pooler for primary instance. - Replication and backups: Complementary, as delayed replicas can help in some cases
Most people know and agree - Postgres is an awesome datastore fit for a multitude of DevOps flows due to it's "lightness", for example - environment cloning for feature testing and similar. But how to make Postgres even better? By running it at a fraction of the cost! This talk sheds light on an avenue that only a few brave have dared to explore - running Postgres in the cloud using Spot VMs, while persisting state and being DevOps-friendly.
We start with a general overview of Spot VM characteristics, typical cost savings and common interruption statistics. Proceeding to deployment possibilities - K8s versus self-managed, and performance aspects, compared to typical managed databases like RDS Postgres.
To finish off, an example Open Source implementation of a "Spot-aware" Postgres toolkit (revolving around Ansible), designed to simplify and DevOps-ify dealing with Spot instance, is introduced and demoed.
Key takeaways: - Explains the essence of Spot VMs and their behaviour - Shows that Spot VMs can also be used for stateful workflows
A long time PostgreSQL professional wearing various hats along the way. Worked with some of the biggest Postgres setups around Europe, and enjoy sharing that knowledge occasionally at conferences and local meetups.
